About:
Marking the 50th anniversary of the influential ERTA doctrine, this book analyses and contextualises the entire breadth of the jurisprudence of EU external relations law through a systematic, case-by-case account of the field.
The entire framework of EU external relations law has been built from the ground up by the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union. At the beginning of the field’s emergence, the legal questions to be answered concerned the division of powers and competence between, firstly, the Member States and that of the Union; and secondly, the division of powers and competence between the different institutions of the Union. Questions on such matters continue to be asked, but more contemporarily, new legal questions have arisen that have been in need of adjudication, including questions concerning the autonomy of Union law; the relationship between the Union and other international organisations; the relationship between Union law and international law; the scope and breadth of international agreements; amongst others.
The book features established academic scholars, judges, agents of institutions and Member States, and legal practitioners in the field of EU external relations law, analysing over 90 cases in which the Court has legally shaped the theory and practice of the external dimension of legal Europe.

Reviews:
“This book is a positive smorgasbord of treats from across the entire field of EU external relations law. Featuring incisive and authoritative case commentary from an impressive line-up of leading scholars in the field, who analyse no fewer than 92 of the canonical EU cases, this book will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in the subject.”
Gráinne de Búrca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law, New York University.
“This volume is rich in analysis and admirably comprehensive. All the leading cases are covered, as well as others perhaps less well known, of which it is extremely useful to be reminded. The history of the development of this area of EU law, in which the Court of Justice has played such a key role, is unfolded chapter by chapter. The star-studded cast of commentators offers new insights on cases we thought we were all familiar with.”
Sir Alan Dashwood QC, Henderson Chambers; Emeritus Professor of European Law, University of Cambridge.
“Long regarded as the Cinderella of EU law, this important book shows how outdated this view of EU external relations law actually is. In fact, from ERTA onwards right up to cases such as Opinion 1/17, cases on EU external relations are increasingly at the heart of EU law. Indeed, this marvellous anthology of the case law and commentaries thereon simply demonstrates the broad, international reach of EU law, affecting states ranging from Iran and Venezuela on the one hand, to disputed territories such Western Sahara and the West Bank on the other. This book consists of over 90 vivid and concise essays, each with further references and reading. This is precisely what the modern legal anthology should look like and it reflects so well on the industry and erudition of the authors and editors alike.”
The Hon. Mr. Justice Gerard Hogan, Judge of the Supreme Court of Ireland; Former Advocate General, Court of Justice of the European Union.
“EU law on external relations has evolved over the years into a self-standing part of EU law with its own specificities. The founding treaties remaining rather silent on the subject, it fell to the Court of Justice, not to be accused of denial of justice, to fill the gaps. As from ERTA, it has answered the challenge in a highly dynamic case law; and that until today, being confronted with a host of new questions. This book offers a thorough analysis of the evolution of that case law. The impressive tableau of expert authors, both from academia and practice, vouches for its quality. The book enriches existing literature and is highly welcomed.”
Christiaan Timmermans, Former Judge, Court of Justice, Court of Justice of the European Union.
